Hvar in May: A Bonanza of Adventure Tourism Opportunities
Let's buzz about Hvar in May, shall we? 🔥
Think chilled-out beach vibes, but with an exhilarating twist. I used to call Hvar home until 2016, and let me tell you, it's got a program for the thrill-seekers out there.
Last week at Zonar Zagreb, I bumped into Giles Chapter, the COO of the sporting sensation Spartan. This ain't just any Englishman; he lavished praise on Hvar that had me swooning. Hint - you can catch Giles' interview right here 📹 if you wanna witness love at first island sight.
Iso-loved the Spartan race last year, with over 2,500 participants from around the world 🌍 - check out my video above. Now, guess what? Spar-tastic Spartan is coming back to Hvar from October 9-12, with an estimated 3,500 participants this time. More deets here 💭.
